Beautiful—it is amazing how much the garden has grown! I am delighted to know that that my aunt Leonore has become such a noted moss garden/ TV celebrity! Her skills as a gardener have been a lifelong source of inspiration, for not only me, but I now see for your entire viewing audience-- Nicely done. I would like to suggest a name change, however-- Instead of "Moss Lady" how about “Moss Goddess”? Best Regards, Lindley Wilson

Having lived on a farm with my family who were in love with Gardening, and as an avid gardener myself, I never thought I would get a real surprise seeing a new garden.
How wrong I was! Norie's garden is an eye opener - and for someone who has always loved the woods, moss and wild flowers, I was astonished how blind I had been to the true wonders of moss. This video began a wonderful trip for me. Two days after seeing it I actually visited the gardens and was amazed (even though I had been semi-prepared) at what Norie has created. Each walk through our own gardens with my wife has become a new experience as we spy a small piece of moss here or there. We have added a whole new dimension to our vision of our gardens, not to mention atwo 4 letter words to our gardening vocabulary - LOVE MOSS!
All I can end with is WOW!!

I've gotten the opportunity to know Norie over the past few years, and not only do I have the pleasure of enjoying visits to the garden, but having a new friend in the neighborhood. Our daughter loves the place, there is a fairy peeking out of every bush.
